In the sentence 'Ana is reviewing seriously because she will take the LET examination,' the pronoun 'she' is what type of reference?

• A. Exophoric
• B. Anaphoric
• C. Co-referential
• D. Demonstrative

Answer: (B)

What this tests is how pronouns link to earlier nouns in a sentence. In this sentence, the pronoun she points back to Ana, the person already mentioned. That makes it an anaphoric reference: the pronoun relies on a preceding noun to identify its referent. This usage helps avoid repeating Ana’s name while keeping the sentence clear. It isn’t exophoric, since the referent is explicitly present in the text, nor is it demonstrative, which would involve a word like this or that pointing to something in the surrounding context. While Ana and she do refer to the same person, the label that best describes the pronoun’s relation to the earlier noun is anaphoric.
